Just got a pair of Maxspect xf330s for my 3ft 40gal tank. Currently running a single Maxspect Jump 2k on one side. What type of program are you running for placement on opposing ends of the tank? Which modes and link-up methods are you using?

Here is the tank with the one Jump 2k:

I'd like to have better random flow in the center without blowing the hammer and ailing octospawn away (more random waviness on the torch would also be nice). All while also hitting the ends so there are no dead spots. Currently the one gyre is causing sand in the middle near the scoly/torch to shift away and is pushing against the trachy on the left side too much. Flow on the left side next to the space invader pectinia seems to be moving from front of the tank to the back, as its tentacles flow backwards. Right side of SPS island in the middle gets blasted and left side gets a bit of flow but not that much--would like good flow on both sides.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Not Maxspects, but I have a pair of Red Sea Reefwave45s on opposite ends of my tank (a link to the details of my setup is on the first post of my build thread).
